A system consist of four components, as illustrated in Fig2.14. The entire system will work if either the 1-2 subsystem works or if the 3-4 subsystem works (since the two subsystems are connected in parallel). Since the two components in each subsystem are connected in series, a subsystem will work only if each works with probability 0.9, what is the probability that t- he system will work?
